Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W
The Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W is designed for maximum output and minimum waste, Fuse 1+ 30W is our compact SLS 3D printer that packs an industrial punch. Unlock unprecedented print speeds and material enablement to deliver truly rapid production in-house.
- Superior Print Speeds – Deliver high-precision parts within 24 hours thanks to a powerful, 30W laser that prints at scan speeds of up to 12.5 meters per second.
- Industrial Grade Materials – Unlock exclusive, new materials and achieve higher performance on existing ones with active powder handling and an inert gas print option.
- Zero Waste, High ROI – By optimizing packing density and powder recyclability, we’ve reached a major milestone: zero waste printing, enabling lower cost per part.
Maximize prints with minimal setup.
Use our free print preparation software, PreForm, to import STL or OBJ files, orient models, estimate print times, and monitor prints.
PreForm’s part packing algorithms can automatically arrange many models in a build to maximize the packing density, reduce print time, and limit waste.

SLS, made manageable from wherever you are.
During setup and printing, an intuitive Touch UI walks you through every step.
The touchscreen displays a live stream of the print bed so you can watch each new layer take shape. This camera view is also available from your computer in PreForm so you can monitor your print without leaving your desk.
Take control of your production across multiple locations and machines. Track print jobs and material flow all in one cloud-based Dashboard to ensure minimum downtime and maximum output.
Reliable, consistent printing.
SLS 3D printing fuses powder layer by layer. The unused material supports the parts during printing so you can create complex, interconnecting designs with no need for support structures.
Patent-pending Surface Armor technology creates a semi-sintered shell around the surface of each part, enhancing mechanical properties and surface quality without the hassle of a large, industrial footprint. These qualities are heightened even further when using the inert gas print option available with Fuse 1+ 30W.
All-in-one powder recycling and recovery.
Our all-in-one powder recovery station, Fuse Sift, combines part extraction, powder recovery, storage, and mixing in a single device.
Produce fully-functional parts with competitively high powder recyclability to enable less waste and lower cost per part.
Fuse Sift will dispense and mix used and new powder automatically so you can reduce waste and control your powder supply.
Designed for 24/7 throughput.
Achieve faster-than-ever printing speeds to deliver prototypes and small series of end-use parts in under 24 hours.
Enable continuous throughput by adding a second, removable build chamber to any Fuse Series workflow.
Industry-leading rapid cooldown times allow you to start a new print within 1-2 hours of your previous print job.
